What shall a command with a victim do?
10e 2-2
- Use the Unit Commander’s Checklist for Unrestricted Reports of Sexual Assault, available on the SAPR Website, http://www.uscg.mil/sapr/, when responding to an Unrestricted Report of a sexual assault.
- Immediately notify CGIS and their SARC after receiving an Unrestricted Report of sexual assault.
- Not assign VA services to a victim. This assignment will be made by the SARC.
- Provide a senior representative of the command to serve on the SAPR CIT when the sexual assault victim or alleged offender is from their command per Chapter 5 of this Manual. Chapter 5 of this Manual details the role of the command representative on the SAPR CIT.
- Complete the Sexual Assault Incident Report, Form CG-5370, in coordination with the SAPR CIT, and submit it to the first O-6 in the victim’s and subject’s chain of command and also the first Flag officer in the victim’s and subject’s chain of command within 72 hours. A copy of the form must be submitted to the SARC.
- Ensure that personnel involved in reporting and providing victim support processes protect the victim’s privacy and do not disclose the identity of the victim beyond those who have a need to know to perform their duties. Family notification, as desired, must only be made by the victim or at the victim’s request.
- Issue a Military Protective Order, Form CG-6070, if it is appropriate to bar the alleged offender from contact with the victim. The CO must consult with CGIS and the servicing legal office prior to issuing the MPO. After issuing an MPO, the issuing CO must:
a. Notify the local civilian law enforcement with jurisdiction to respond to an emergency call from the residence of any individual involved in the issuance of an MPO.
b. Notify the local civilian law enforcement with jurisdiction to respond to an emergency call from the residence of any individual involved in the changes to the MPO or of the termination of the MPO.
c. Advise the member seeking the MPO, or if the member is represented by counsel, the member’s SVC, that the MPO is not enforceable by civilian authorities off base. Members needing protection off base should seek a Civilian Protective Order (CPO) or restraining order. - Notify the victim of the right to request an expedited transfer.
- Forward all expedited transfer requests from victims with recommendation to Commander (CG PSC) within 72 hours of submission per References (f) and (g).
- Consult with the servicing legal office before taking action on collateral misconduct.
What shall a command with an alleged offender do?
10e 2-2
- Monitor the well-being of the alleged offender, particularly for any indications of suicidal ideation, and ensure appropriate intervention occurs.
- Prohibit command representatives from interviewing the alleged offender about the incident, other than a limited inquiry to ascertain safety issues. Investigative interviews of alleged offenders, victims, and witnesses in suspected incidents of sexual assault must only be conducted by CGIS special agents. However, commands may make a limited initial inquiry for safety purposes (e.g., to determine if the alleged offender poses an imminent threat to him or herself or to others; or if any personnel require immediate medical attention).
- Follow the guidance in the Unit Commander’s Checklist for Unrestricted Reports of Sexual Assault, ensuring that information about the alleged offender and the incident is safe guarded. Only those who have an official “need to know” should have access to this information.
- Remove the alleged offender’s access to DA beyond self-service access, and other secure internet sites to ensure he or she has no privileged access to victim information, location, or status.
- Ensure support resources (e.g., counseling, chaplain, etc.) are made available to the alleged offender who may be experiencing emotional distress due to the incident.
- If the alleged offender receives punitive administrative action resulting from a sex-related offense, contact the SAPR PM and provide the alleged offender’s name.
- The CO must report all derogatory information on personnel to the SECCEN. This reporting applies to convictions for sex-related offenses.

Commands must discuss these safety concerns with the SAPR CIT for guidance as outlined in Chapter 5 of this Manual
